GARDEN THE NIGHT BEFORE FILM CREW SHOWED UP.. this only one of 9 beds of perennials
I had dead headed all the daylilies as well as plucking off all the still good blooms around 4:00 PM. This way I wouldn’t disturb the newly opened blooms the next morning when the film crew arrived.
It paid off to do all that pre planning but I literally cried when I looked down the drive and took this photo. See next shot of the "morning after"

What a huge amount of deadheading! But you did the right thing to ensure only fresh blooms for the film crew. The view the next day is impressive. What busy plants daylilies are. Our property had orange daylilies when we moved here and I cursed their dense roots when I tried to eradicate them. (Sorry--orange is the one colour I banish from my garden!) Later I was given a purple one and do you think I can get it to bloom in my shady garden? No, just enough leaves to show me that it is still alive and taunt me with the mystery of what a purple daylily would be like.
